1. What kind of feed is best for red worms?

Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the silt and like to eat sweet and sour fish bait. If they are in professional farms, they also eat feed fermented from raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, and pigeon manure.

2. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

When breeding red worms, prepare a glass container, put the selected red worms into it, and then inject clean and sterile natural water. If you want to use tap water for breeding, it is best to expose the tap water to the sun for 2-3 days to remove the chlorine in it to prevent poor growth of the red worms.

Step/Method 2

Control light source

The growth of red worms cannot be separated from light. Lack of light source will cause the red worms to have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death. When breeding, it is best to hang a 5-watt light bulb above the container to provide the red worms with sufficient light, allowing them to breathe freely and grow healthily.

Step/Method 3

Water quality control

When breeding red worms, the water should be changed once a day to keep the water clean. In the process of changing the water, the red worms and the container should be cleaned to remove the mucus to avoid the breeding of bacteria. The breeding water depth should be controlled at about 3-5 cm, and the water level should be deepened at night to keep warm.

Step/Method 4

Feeding. Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the soil, and they particularly like sweet and acidic baits. Poultry manure, domestic sewage, etc. are all their baits. In professional farms, rice bran, sawdust, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials are generally fermented to make feed. If it is a family farm, yeast powder can be soaked in water and fed. Feeding is also a key point in red worm production. Feeding in small amounts and multiple times can increase production. Generally, feeding is done once every 3-4 days, and 50 to 100 kilograms of manure is fed per mu each time. It is mixed with water and sprinkled throughout the pond. When feeding, pay attention to the amount of residual bait, and do not blindly feed more, so as to avoid excessive organic matter in the water body causing fermentation to produce toxic substances, affecting production.

3. What kind of feed is best for red worm breeding base?

Feeding

Most large-scale professional red worm farms use rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, etc. to ferment and make them into breeding feed. Home-based red worm breeding can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed, but the amount must be controlled.

4. How to cultivate red worms for feeding fish?

How to cultivate bloodworms for fish feeding:

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is an excellent opportunity to collect red worms.

2. When breeding a small amount of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them with river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove bleach and other substances. Change the water every other day. In winter, you need to prevent freezing and put a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist.

3. It is best to use a container with a larger area in contact with the air, because the red worms will float to the water surface and make breathing-like movements, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

4. Light source is necessary for raising red worms. The light source cannot be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5w night light, etc.) at night. Because red worms are too lazy to breathe, if there is no light source, they will die easily the next day.

5. There are specialized breeding farms, most of which ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make breeding feed. For home breeding of red worms, you can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed them, but the amount must be controlled.

6. When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the reproduction capacity of red worms is greatly weakened. In winter, when you can't see the red worms in the water tank, don't pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. You can put the water tank in a sunny room or near the radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises to above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

5. What food should be fed to farmed red worms?

Answer: (1) Red worms feed mainly on organic debris in the mud and love to eat bait with a sweet and sour taste. Their main sources of bait are poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from agricultural and sideline product processing.

(2) In professional breeding farms, raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, and pigeon manure are generally fermented first and then made into feed for red worms.

Feeding red worms

Specialized farms mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed. For home-breeding red worms, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount must be controlled.
